XXXVIII. It's easy to do things without rules

Pan Xuan and Dong Caiqi looked at it in their eyes, and they didn't think so: "This person violated the military order in public and spoke disrespectfully to the commander, he should have been punished, how could he be rewarded?" But Xiao Yao dealt with it like this, and it was inconvenient for the two of them to open their mouths to refute. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After Tang Ziye got the order, he followed Cao Su to the white bear camp and announced Xiaoyao's appointment. He was already a well-known young warrior in the army, and he had Cao Su to guide him in martial arts, and his skills were quite extraordinary. The White Bear Battalion challenged him up and down, and Tang Ziye was even more unambiguous, defeating them one by one, and finally won everyone's trust. He was full of pride and was willing to fight for merit, so he trained his troops strictly and waited for the opportunity to fight.

Two days later, Dong Caiqi gathered an army of 100,000 troops, left the White Horse City, and came to the foot of Qinglan Mountain through the territory of a group of descendants, looking into the distance, the frost and snow covered the sky, and the snow peaks on the white land protruded, pointing to the sky like a thorn in the ground, and the most prestigious Sikong country in the Snow Ridge Country was on the plain behind the mountains.

Dong Caiqi took a deep breath, and the scene of breaking through the ice wall and defeating the snake boy flashed in his mind, and immediately dispersed it, his mind did not move, he was tenacious, and ordered to march.

She had asked the big-eyed owl to probe through the air beforehand, memorized the terrain, and hired local vagrants as guides in the army, and took a shortcut through the valley, from the bottom to the top, and approached the enemy's city. This city is the first barrier of the Sikong Kingdom, and the city walls stretch for dozens of miles, as if indifferent and ruthless guards are blocking the way.

Dong Caiqi looked at Pan Xuan, Pan Xuan shook his head, and said, "You and I don't have to make a move, we have to have soldiers to attack the city in person." She agreed, and ordered someone to blow the horn, and the sound spread far away, even in the cold, it also made people's blood boil.

Flags flew, and tens of thousands of troops armed with iron shields pressed forward very quickly. Suddenly, there was a roar in the sky, and several large ice stones fell rapidly, smashing into the crowd, ping pong, and many casualties.

Dong Cai Qi knew that the enemy's equipment was called an ice-throwing thunder cart, which was to pour hot water from a water pipe onto a large ice-throwing bowl, and the ice-throwing bowl was padded with a layer of cotton cloth, and when the bowl was full of water, it weighed about two or three or four hundred pounds, and after waiting for a while, it had formed a hard ice cube. Then he let go of the rope, and with a flick of the long pole of the Thrower, he threw the large ice cube like a catapult, and the momentum was extremely fast and violent.

This weapon has the enemy, and the Lengzhou country naturally has it, and Dong Caiqi brought it with the army, and when besieging the city, the change of direction is even more flexible. When she saw the ice falling in the air, she knew the direction of the enemy's mine, and ordered her own side to also throw ice and return fire. The figures in the army hurriedly rushed, pushed the huge weapon, calibrated the direction, took out the large water bag and water pipe, filled the bowl with water, and then the "cannonball" was formed.

Dong Caiqi shouted: "Hit!" A few bangs, the ice and thunder rushed into the sky, falling into the city, only to hear a dull sound, Dong Caiqi listened carefully, and there was a sound of a giant tree breaking. She was overjoyed, knowing that the enemy's minecarts had been destroyed, and ordered to keep throwing ice into the city, so that no one could stand on the city wall.

Covered by falling rocks in the air, the cavalry and infantry rushed forward like a tide, and when they reached the city, the enemy army was already scattered with arrows, and the weather could not be achieved. The crowd roared loudly, slammed the door with battering rams, climbed the wall with ladders, and after a while there were already people climbing the tower, fighting bravely, the blood mist floated in the air, the corpses piled up, the severed limbs fell, the screams and shouts were fierce, and the violence was revealed.

There were constantly spies coming to report the situation of the battle, and Dong Caiqi continued to respond, either sending strange soldiers to reinforce, or ordering people to wander away and enter the city through the gaps. Although the enemy resisted for a while, after a short and half hour, it was already dwarfed and full of loopholes. The walls are crowded on one side, but empty on the other. Dong Caiqi sent a detachment of soldiers and horses, and they attacked the city smoothly.

Xiao Yao and Lu Zhenying stood on a high place, watched from a distance, and saw that Dong Caiqi was attacking the city head-on, but the methods were endlessly changing, like a trick, and they actually attacked this Ming like a sneak attack, so that the enemy could not be guarded. The two of them were amazed in their hearts, and secretly thought: "It turns out that leading troops to fight is also divided into virtual, real, rigid and soft, and the magic of operation and ingenuity of thinking are far better than martial arts moves." ”

After waiting for a while, the city gate was opened, and Pan Xuan smiled with relief: "Caiqi, I really have nothing to teach you." ”

Dong Caiqi was also nervous, and when he heard him praise like this, he smiled and said, "With you watching, how dare I make a fool of myself?"

The enemy army was defeated and entered the city, turning from siege warfare to street fighting, with one side high morale and one side out of control. Dong Caiqi was several miles away, but he arranged thoughtfully, ordered his subordinates to surround or entic, or rush or ambush, and good news came frequently. After waiting for another half an hour, a spy said happily: "I have captured the palace of the city lord of this city and captured the city lord." ”

Dong Caiqi clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay, I was worried that this person had run away, and everyone did not do a bad job." ”

Pan Xuan reminded: "If you need to ask about the matter of this city lord's divine clan, you can't slip through the net." ”

Dong Caiqi said: "I understand. He also ordered: "The people of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect are all gathered in the palace, if you don't know where the Divine Race is, don't act rashly." ”

This city is called Shenrui City, and the city lord is called Ruan Jie, and after being captured, he was dejected and frightened. Dong Caiqi and the others were separated, and Xiao Yao was invited to sit on the tiger skin chair. Xiao Yao knew that the rules were like this, so he had to follow them and asked, "Ruan Jie, are there any people from the Divine Clan in your city?"

Ruan Xie was annoyed and said, "These cowards, when they learned that the army was coming to the city, fled to the national capital. ”

Pan Xuan smiled: "I knew this was the case, why did you worship these fearless people respectfully?"

Dong Caiqi asked, "What are the hundred moves in your city?"

Ruan Xie was the same as the White Horse City Lord, and when he heard this name, he was half frightened to death, and shouted: "This god has always lived in seclusion, if she makes a move, I am afraid that it will cause natural disasters." ”

Dong Caiqi asked this person about the situation of the rest of the cities in Sikong Kingdom, and Ruan Xie did not dare to hide it, so he answered truthfully.

was carefully interrogated, but when he heard someone making noise outside the hall, he took a look and saw Tang Ziye and another big man looking at each other angrily, walking quickly, Cao Su followed behind, looking unhappy. Pan Xuan recognized that the big man was the general of the Biao Battalion, called Xiao Shun.

Xiao Yao asked, "Xiao Shun and Ziye, why are you two arguing?"

Xiao Shun said loudly: "When we were fighting this morning, there was one thing, and what Tang Ziye did was not like that. Originally, attacking the east wall was our Biao Battalion's business, and this kid should attack the north wall. But he gave up the north wall and rushed to grab the city wall with us, but this kid and a group of bandits took the lead and took the first credit. ”

Pan Xuan thought to himself: "The north wall is a void, and the east wall is the key." But this trick is also crucial, without this step, the battle on the eastern wall will be extremely anxious. This kid is so eager to be greedy for merit that he is robbing his colleagues of his own side for credit?"

Dong Caiqi said: "Tang Ziye, is there such a thing?"

Cao Su defended his lover and said: "Ziye, he saw that Xiao Shun's hands and feet were too slow, and he was afraid of delaying the fighter, so he helped him, and there was no malice, how could he blame him? Ziye's ability is higher than that of General Xiao Shun, and this military merit is not compensated, so it naturally belongs to him. ”

Xiao Shun said angrily: "How can there be such a reason? You barbarians of the Lengzhou Kingdom have made a mess down there, disturbing our meats and vegetables, so they have picked up a bargain for this kid!"

This Xiao Shun is a general brought by Dong Caiqi from the southwest, and he has always been extremely profitable, and Tang Ziye is Xiao Yao's confidant, on the battlefield, although he listened to Dong Caiqi's orders, but when he arrived in the camp, he was under the jurisdiction of Xiao Yao.

Dong Caiqi groaned and said, "Tang Ziye, what order did I give you?"

Tang Ziye hurriedly said: "General Caiqi, you let me wander around the north wall, that's.... Overkill. ”

Dong Caiqi said: "You didn't say it at the time, you took the order and left, but now you are violating the military order, according to the military law, what should you do?"

Tang Ziye said in a trembling voice: "It should be... He should be punished with a rod for thirty years, reduced to a pawn, or even imprisoned. ”

Cao Su exclaimed "ah", and hurriedly looked at Lu Zhenying and Xiao Yao, his eyes full of pleading.

Xiao Yao said with a smile: "General, I see that Ziye is not intent on fighting, but has the intention to help, and he inadvertently won the first credit." We people in the martial arts, why should we be so particular? We only need to be fruitful and win in the end, no matter what happens during the period? Everyone should not quarrel, so as not to hurt the harmony. ”

Dong Caiqi hesitated for a moment and sighed: "Lord of the country, I am a guest from afar, and I can't take the lead from the guests, but this military law is like a mountain, and the military order is like iron, which is very different from the gang rules in the rivers and lakes." ”

Xiao Yao held Dong Caiqi's palm and said with a grin: "Good general, what you said is not bad at all, look at my face today, don't pursue this matter." He said to Xiao Shun again: "That's it, General Xiao, you and Ziye are half of each of you for this first achievement, no matter before or after, how about both of them being rewarded?"

Xiao Shun saw that the lord of the country was so polite to him, although he saw Tang Ziye a hundred unpleasant, but it was inconvenient, so he had to say: "Just follow the instructions of the lord of the country, old Xiao.... There is no dissenting opinion. “

Tang Ziye and Cao Su breathed a sigh of relief, and also smiled: "Thank you for the reward." ”

Xiao Yao laughed, recruited all the generals, rewarded the meritorious deeds, and all the soldiers were excited.

Dong Caiqi has a lot of complaints about this matter, but there is still a battle in the future, and it must be resolved quickly, lest if the army of Nalongmu sends back to help, and his side is attacked from the front and rear, then the situation will be extremely dangerous. Fortunately, the whole army of Longmu was thousands of miles away, and at this moment, it was pinned down by the Central Plains army, and it was too busy to take care of itself, and it was expected that it would be powerless to save it.

In the following days, the coalition forces did not stop, and made persistent efforts, and attacked Sikong Guowei City, Grain City, Dengtian, and Horseshoe respectively. The spies she sent were extremely capable, collecting military intelligence, very accurate, and the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent won all battles. According to the military situation, she laid out countermeasures, and she was always able to attack the enemy's vital points and overcome them in one fell swoop.

After Tang Ziye experienced the dispute, he was encouraged, became more and more energetic, and fought bravely and impulsively. When he arrived on the battlefield, he led his soldiers to go on a rampage, running wildly, rushing to attack everywhere, and repeatedly violating military orders. It's just that Dong Caiqi's array is extremely ingenious, and he can always make his own side attack weak with strength, and Tang Ziye does have some real skills, plus Cao Su helps by the side, and when he encounters opponents, he often wins in chaos and never suffers.

He behaved like this, not only in the southwest army, but also in the Lengzhou army. When Xiao Yao heard this, he just smiled and said: "We have won many battles and the momentum is booming, why make a big fuss about this? Ziye has extraordinary ability, once he goes to the battlefield, he is like a fish in water, so why do you have to follow the rules in everything?"

When Tang Ziye learned of this, he was greatly encouraged and became a little bolder. Ignoring Dong Caiqi's dissuasion, Xiao Yao promoted him to the deputy commander of the Lengzhou National Army, and ordered him to take charge of the military situation and deal with the enemy's attack.
